DATE CHANGED to Wednesday, April 20
11:30-1:15 at The Taft Center or Via Zoom
Presented by Daniel B. Cunningham, HBS OPM '99, Advanced Leadership Fellow '13, HKS MPA '16
with introduction by Joseph J. Dehner, HLS '73
Our upcoming luncheon program covers the post-WWII era until today, focusing on the specific American Global Leadership needed now. Our speaker, Dan Cunningham, is a leader-advocate for restoring 3% long-term growth for all Americans, which has led him to being an avid student of the economics/effectiveness/fairness of global trade. Examples of American Global Leadership, including soft power, hard power, economic power, social power, environmental power, and digital currency power are presented. Dan will explore the intersection of American Global leadership and economic growth. Building on America’s Global Leadership experience post and post post-WWII, what are the win-wins that should form the core of American Global Leadership now and in the future?
The presentation will be 45 minutes, plus 20 minutes for Q & A. Lunch will be available room starting at 11:30 am. Speaker starts at noon. There is no limit on Zoom attendees. The zoom link will be sent the week of the program.
